The players were stationed around the concourse inside Jobing.com Arena. That allowed other fans to skate on NHL ice and/or take shots at Coyotes goalies Mike Smith and Jason LaBarbera, and Goaltenders Coach Sean Burke.

Young Coyotes fan Cameron Shivers enjoyed the experience of shooting a puck on goal.

“It really was fun because I was shooting on a goalie of the Phoenix Coyotes,” said Cameron, a 10-year-old who slipped his shot by a diving LaBarbera. “(Scoring) made me feel even more excited because I made a goal on an official goalie.”

Cameron’s mother Nadine said she and her son had a good time.

“This is the second time we’ve come to a (Coyotes) Carnival,” she said. “We’d moved away and one thing that drew us back to the Phoenix area was that we missed the area and the Phoenix Coyotes. We’re big fans.”

General Manager Don Maloney, Head coach Dave Tippett and C.O.O. Mike Nealy answered questions from fans during a Town Hall Meeting that was shown on the Jumbotron during the carnival.
